The Beast and the Booth is a thrilling single-issue comic book that weaves together a Jewish tale of faith and family with a supernatural monster story. Written by Arnon Z. Shorr and brought to life with stunning illustrations by Joshua Edelglass, and vibrant colors by Aljoša Tomić (the team behind last year’s Brother’s Keeper), this all-ages comic offers a fresh, culturally-rich take on the werewolf genre. Set during the holiday of Sukkot, the story follows Sarah, a 14-year-old girl who befriends a boy with a terrifying secret. When the sun sets and the full moon rises, Sarah must confront the beast that lurks beyond the sukkah. Perfect for fans of classic monster stories and for those seeking a unique twist on Jewish folklore, The Beast and the Booth is a captivating one-shot you won’t want to miss!

20 story pages, plus bonus behind-the-scenes content.

From the author and the illustrator of José and the Pirate Captain Toledano and Brother’s Keeper.

This book premiered at JewCE, the Jewish Comics Convention in NYC on Nov 10, 2024!
